How can I build a mountain bike from scratch?

I'm looking to build a suspension mountain bike complete. I am not looking for the absolute best, but I'm looking for a relatively decent one. I'd say I'm looking to spend $ 1200. Can I get more for my $ $ if I build or just buy a bike? What I would like to see is a list of components that get a full mountain built from scratch. For items can you tell me what are the top 5 names for the component that you described? Thank you.

You can build a bike from parts, but he probably be smarter to buy a used bike. I was once given a hardtail slightly damaged and he built from parts I had already more than a few that I bought. If I added the value of all the parts I put on I could probably have sold the parts and bought a similar bike complete for less $ $ $. Now I'll give the bike away, so I'm even less inclined to calculate how much it's worth. If you built a hardtail, I'd say go ahead, but the bike frames FS is more expensive and a decent shock alone can be costly. Find 3-4 years. old Cannondale Rush or Prophet or XC Stumpjumper FSR specialized and roll!
